Careeredit
He has been a regular contributor to American Thinker, PJ Media, American Greatness, Bizpac Review, and other conservative sites.
Pardoe designed the Domination role-playing game, which was published by StarChilde Publications in 1989[2] and was once a writer for Battletech's fiction. His best-known book in the MechWarrior Dark Ages line was Surrender Your Dreams. His book, "Hour of the Wolf," remains Catalyst's bestselling BattleTech novel. He contributed stories to the online pay-to-read fiction website Battlecorps.[3]
In 2008, his book on Frank Luke Jr., Terror of the Autumn Skies, was released (Skyhorse Publishing, 2008).[4] His most recent BattleTech novel is No Substitute for Victory. His most recent political thriller is A Most Uncivil War.
Pardoe has been a guest speaker at the U.S. National Archives, the U.S. Navy Museum, the Smithsonian, the Mariner's Museum, and the New York Military Affairs Symposium.

His books have appeared on several bestseller lists, including the New York Times Murder and Mayhem list in October 2014, on Amazon.com, and in numerous newspapers.
On July 30, 2022, Catalyst Game Labs announced they were suspending publication of new works by Pardoe “primarily due to Mr. Pardoe’s online activities, which do not align with Catalyst’s publishing vision.” [5] Pardoe has claimed in an article that the decision was the result of a "smear campaign".[6]
In 2023 Pardoe's new series, LAND&SEA, was released and the first five books of the series have appeared on multiple bestseller lists on Amazon.
